[[File:Aegosexual.png|thumb|right|200px|The aegosexual pride flag]]
 
'''Aegosexual''', also known less commonly as '''anegosexual'''<ref name="Acehandbook">{{Cite web|url=https://www.asexuality-handbook.com/grey-asexuality.html|title=Grey-asexuality|publisher=Asexuality Handbook}}</ref> and formerly referred to as '''autochorissexual''' ("autochoris" means "identity-less"), is a microlabel on the asexual spectrum that describes those who experience a disconnect between themselves and the subject of arousal. The contemporary term is made up of the prefix "a/an-" meaning 'not', "ego" for 'self', and 'sexual'. Hence, "aegosexual" or "anegosexual" literally means "sexual without self". Aegosexuals may have sexual fantasies, view sexual content, or masturbate, but typically feel little to no sexual attraction or desire to engage in sexual intercourse. Many aegosexuals fantasize about sex from a third-person perspective.<ref name="History of Aegosexuality">{{Cite web |url=http://www.themichigangayly.com/features/history-of-aegosexuality |title=History of Aegosexuality |author=Edha Shirodkar |date=2021-02-01 |work=[http://www.themichigangayly.com The Michigan Gayly] |archivedate=20220214172205}}</ref><ref>https://www.slanglang.net/slang/lgbtq/aegosexual/</ref>

====Apothisexual====

'''Apothisexual''', which stems from the Greek root "apothisan" meaning 'repulsed', refers to someone who identifies as asexual and finds sex and/or sexual activity to be disgusting or uncomfortable. Individuals who use this term are affected by sex in the media to varying degrees, and may try to avoid its presence altogether. This term should not be confused with 'sex-negative', which means finding sex immoral.<ref name="WWU">{{Cite web|url=https://wp.wwu.edu/westernaces/what-is-asexuality/|title=What is Asexuality?}}</ref><ref name="OQS">{{Cite web|url=https://ourqueerstories.com/being-an-apothisexual/|title=Being an Apothisexual|author=Flannigan, Amy Maria|publisher=Our Queer Stories|date=2015-09-25}}</ref>

[[File:Cupiosexual.png|thumb|Cupiosexual flag]]
 
'''Cupiosexual''', derived from "cupio" meaning longing, refers to a person who is asexual or on the asexual spectrum and still desires sexual actions despite not feeling an attraction towards people who'd inspire that desire.<ref name="CosmoCupio">{{Cite web|url=https://www.cosmopolitan.com/sexopedia/a35046096/cupiosexual/|title=Cupiosexual|author=Carina Hsieh|publisher=Cosmopolitan|date=2020-12-29}}</ref> The term originally showed up on forums in 2014. Although cupiosexuals will not experience sexual attraction to their sexual partner, there are a myriad of other reasons a cupiosexual may have sex, such as physical pleasure or a way to bond with one's partner.<ref name="Women's Health">{{Cite web|url=https://www.womenshealthmag.com/sex-and-love/a39120907/cupiosexual/|title=What Does Cupiosexual Mean?

'''Fraysexual''' or '''ignotasexual''' describe individuals who experience sexual attraction to those whom they do not know very well. For some fraysexual people, they may initially be attracted to another person; however, they find that their sexual attraction fades over time, particularly as an emotional connection is formed.<ref name="WellandGood">{{Cite web|url=https://www.wellandgood.com/what-is-fraysexuality|title=What Is Fraysexuality?

[[File:Asexual Flag.svg|thumb|The asexual pride flag]]
 
The asexual flag was created collaboratively within the community in 2010. The first three stripes (black, gray, and white) represent a gradient from asexuality and gray-asexuality to [[Allosexual|allosexuality]], based on the symbolism of the AVEN triangle. The fourth stripe, purple, represents community.<ref name="Aexual Flag">{{Cite web |url=https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/53435-asexual-flag-and-the-winner-is |title=Asexual Flag: And the winner is.....}}</ref><ref name="The Ace Flag">{{Cite web |url=https://asexualagenda.wordpress.com/2018/02/21/the-ace-flag-a-history-and-celebration/ |title=The Ace Flag: A History and Celebration}}</ref>
 
 
 
====Alternative Asexual Spectrum Flag====
 
[[File:Asexual Spectrum Flag.png|left|thumb|The alternative asexual spectrum pride flag]]
 
An alternative asexual spectrum flag design was posted to Tumblr on July 25, 2020, by Potion of the ''Flag Archive'' blog. It has four equal-sized horizontal stripes, and they suggested the following meanings for the colors: dark blue for community, its history, and solidarity; purple for asexuality in all variations and personal labels, pink for self-determination, pride, and acceptance; cream for diversity in experiences and types of attraction.<ref name="theflagarchive: asexual spectrum">{{Cite web |url=https://theflagarchive.tumblr.com/post/624655680467599360/asexual-spectrum-flag-while-i-like-the-asexual |title=Asexual spectrum flag! |author=Potion |date=2020-07-25 |archivedate=20220221144313}}</ref>
